Wish I had something more to offer than my sympathy and hope for a workable solution, Hec and JZ.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Will Plei's ideas involve a massive heist of glittery nail polish?
Nope. I'm annoyingly adept at brainstorming budget issues. Comes from being raised on a shoestring and having gone back to that shoestring too often as an adult.
My complicated money issues have some silver linings.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Depressing headline o' the day:
Ritual Sacrifice Of Children ON THE RISE In Uganda
eta:
However, the rise in human sacrifices in Uganda appears to come from a desire for wealth and a belief that drugs made from human organs can bring riches, according to task force head Moses Binoga. They may be fueled by a spate of violent Nigerian films that are growing in popularity, and showcase a common story line: A family reaping riches after sacrificing a human.

JZ, I wish I could help somehow. If you or Plei come up with any research-y grunt work or something else that I can do long-distance, give me a shout.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
tommy, that is definitely the most depressing headline I'm going to read today. I refuse to think any more about it, if I can, or click on the link.
In completely other news, I hadn't realised that Seth Green has been nominated for three Emmys (Robot Chicken). And apparently now George Lucas is going to let him do a Star Wars sitcom. Oz? Wee Oz?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, I finally read that Bottle Girl article, and I think I have to take a shower. New York is so gross.

New York, LA, Las Vegas...I just don't understand people.
And I really really don't understand some of the things guys are willing to pay for.

But without going all out! And you still get paid!
Who am I kidding? There was a time in my life I'd totally have wanted to be paid arm candy. But no naughty stuff! People are gross.
Not only am I dressed wrong today, I have schmutz on my top. Such immense fail.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Bottle Girl article
That is so far removed from my life that it may as well be a different planet. In a distant solar system.
JZ & Hec, sorry for the automotive suck-fest. Here's hoping that zipcar can cover some short-term needs until you find the car that fits your needs and means.
